I applied online. I interviewed at Citi (New York, NY)
Interview
I recently interviewed for the NY Investment Research team. The interviews were structured like speed dating-- five interviewers went around the room to interview each candidate for a half hour. Everyone generally asked the basic "Tell me about yourself" or "walk me through your resume" questions. Then, we were asked to pitch a stock, Because of this, the interviews are not necessarily hard-- they are simply what you make of it. If you mention any experience in technical analysis or the company's strong cash position, be prepared to get a lot of follow-up questions. The majority of interviewers were senior members, so they obviously know their stuff! SO- just make sure that you are passionate about whichever part of the business you are applying to, because they can teach you/correct you on all of the technicals, but they can't really teach you passion and interest.
I applied through college or university. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Citi (New York, NY)
Interview
First round was a 30min on campus interview. Then a superday the next week. Superday was consist of 5 back to back 30min interviews. The questions were not hard, and the interviewers were genuinely interested in getting to know you and your thought process. They will guid you through the questions. Got an offer the next day.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Have you ever had to give someone suggestions when the result of the event was not relevant to you? e.g. when your friend ask you for advice
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Citi
Interview
Applied through Recruiter who hosted an event on campus. Phone Interview with one of the employees at Citi New york. It was a standard final round interview. 7-8 with upper level management (Senior VPs and MDs) and with one pure technical interview. Some interviewers would openly look at their phone in front of you. This was sometimes off putting.
